About this motif
In the 18th century sailing ships lay packed together in the harbour in front of the old town. Even then Hamburg was one of the most important trading cities in northern Europe.
Peters' etching "Hamburg around 1750" shows numerous sailing ships on the water, with the city and its pointed church towers beneath a wide sky. Image about 10 x 14 cm on a 20 x 25 cm sheet, black and white or hand-coloured, framed on request.
